Reproduction in Plants (P5)

  1. Lily left the 4 jars below on a table in the Science room.


                           










In which of the following jars would Lily most likely be able to observe germination of the seeds?
(1)  D only
(2)  C and D only
(3)  A, B and C only

2. The diagram below shows the fruits of 3 different plants, A, B and C.
           













P, Q and R are maps showing where the parent plants and their seedlings are growing over a period of 3 months.












           
           
Which one of the following correctly relates the map to each plant?


Plant A
Plant B

Which flower is most likely to be self-pollinated?


(1)  A
(2)  B
(3)  C
(4)  D                                                                                (               )          


4. Study the diagram below.
                                   

In plant reproduction, fertilization takes place when a male reproductive cell fuses with the female reproductive cell. In which part(s) of the flower can the male and female cells be found?


Male Reproductive Cell
Female Reproductive Cell
(1)
A
E
(2)
B
G
(3)
H
E
(4)
F
C and D

5.  Three different types of plants, X, Y and Z were identified on some empty
land as shown in Figure 1. All of them bear fruits. A few years later, as a    result of dispersal, more of the plants were found as shown in Figure 2.

Based on what you observe from Figure 2, what are the likely characteristics of the fruits of plants X, Y and Z, which helped them to disperse their seeds?


Plant X
Plant Y
Plant Z
(1)
Has a water-proof outer covering
Has air spaces
Has thorns
(2)
Splits open when dry
Is hairy and light
Has a fibrous husk
(3)
Has wing-like structures
Is fleshy and edible
Has a water-proof outer covering
(4)
Is fleshy and edible
Splits open when dry
Has hook-like structure

Section B: Read the questions carefully and write its correct answer in  
                   the spaces provided.
1.





Mary looks at the berries.
Berries contain seeds.


(a)
Why do plants produce seeds?









(b)
Describe one main way that birds help to disperse seeds in these berries.


























Mary investigates which colour berries show up best.
She hangs different coloured beads on some green plants.
She uses the same number of beads of each colour.
Marcus looks for the beads for two minutes.
Mary counts how many beads of each colour Marcus finds.

The table below shows Mary’s results.

Colour of Beads
Number found in 2 minutes
Black
19
Brown
12
Green
8
Red
25

(c)
Which colour was easiest to see on the plants?








(d)
Mary and Marcus think that the colour of the berries might affect the number of seeds dispersed by birds.
How might the colour of berries affect the number of seeds dispersed by birds?











2. Ahmad performed an experiment on germination using the apparatus shown below.

           

            He then placed five red bean seeds into each beaker. After 2 days, he noticed that the seeds in Beaker B germinated whereas those in Beaker A did not.

(a)       State the aim of his experiment.                                                                      

___________________________________________________________

(b)       What is the purpose of the layer of oil in each beaker?

3.
The table below shows the number of processes that must take place before fruits and seeds of flowering plants are produced.  The first stage has been done for you.
Number the stages from 2 (the next earliest stage) to 7 (the last stage).  Write the numbers in the boxes provided.                                                                                                          



a)

Processes
Stages

The wind or insects carry the pollen grains.

1

Petals and style wither and drop off.


Pollen tubes reach the ovaries.


Pollen grains land on the stigma.


Ovules develop into seeds and the ovaries develop into fruits.


Male reproductive cells fuse with the female egg cells.


Pollen tubes develop downwards through the style.





b)
From the table shown above, which stage (2 to 7) refers to the process of fertilisation?
